Only: Where can you find one in this environment?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">LPG is very popular both in leisure vehicles on land and on water. For example, it is used as an energy source for gas heaters, gas barbecues or gas stoves. In order to take into account the necessary safety ideas, caravan users, campers, boat owners, etc. must put their vehicles through determined inspections. The <strong>circumstances for the test<\/strong> are set out in the respective regulations.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Technical_Rules\"><\/span>Technical Rules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Worksheet <strong>G 607<\/strong> (A) of the DVGW (German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water) defines rules which apply to LPG systems for caravans and motor caravans. The inspection must be carried out before the first start-up, the repeat inspection before 24 months have elapsed and another inspection after any change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For boats and vessels, worksheet <strong>G 608<\/strong> (A) defines the rules.
